Snowshoeing and Snow-trekking in Switzerland

Trekking through winter wonderland on a pair of snow-shoes is one of the greenest activities to enjoy in the winter season.

Plus, there’s none of the fuss of having to bother with the usual ski equipment. Just strap on a pair of snow-shoes and off you go into the crunching virgin snow. Switzerland’s stunning mountains are fantastic choices to head to this winter for a memorable slow travel experience on snow-shoes.

You’re really spoilt for choice when it comes to the array spectacular views of glistening snow fields and journeys across high plateaux and through hidden valleys in the Swiss Alps. After a day of winter fun, there is nothing better than relaxing in a cosy chalet or quaint mountain hotel.

Featured below we’ve listed some of the best snowshoeing holidays in Switzerland, all easily reachable by train.

The sunny Engadine Valley in eastern Switzerland is one of the country’s best-kept secrets. It is a place where winter is truly magical and is characterised by frozen lakes, quintessentially Alpine scenery and picture-book villages.

Engelberg offers excellent pistes – and delightful cross-country trails – but what really makes the place is its refreshingly laid-back atmosphere – this is the quiet side of skiing. The 3-star Edelweiss is every bit as relaxed as the village.

For the classic downhill skiing experience from a Swiss chalet on the ‘quiet side of the mountain’, look no further than Le Grand Chalet Favre in the delightful village of St-Luc. Perfect for the whole family
